The Bad Donkey (Pum-Pa-Lum) |
There was a day in September |
As clear as I can remember |
I was visiting Kingston town |
And taking a look around |
I saw a cute little fellow |
Who was looking downhearted |
When I asked what the matter could be |
He stopped to tell the story |
I had a little donkey |
And he done got locked up |
Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
They stick him in the jail |
And he ain’t done nothing |
Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
Got him peeping through the bars |
Like a little monkey |
Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
The folks all say |
He been a real bad donkey |
Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
They say he’s acting |
Like there’s rum in his hay |
Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
He wasn’t drunk |
He just wanna play |
Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
I hear they’re gonna |
Have a trial in the morning |
Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
I’m gonna tell the judge |
That he ain’t done nothing |
Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
La la la la la… |
First he bumped Mrs. Mary |
And then he bite the policeman |
Turn and broke Mr. Webster’s cart |
Which was almost fallen apart |
He started a little riot |
But now there’s peace and there’s quiet |
See how he done empty the street |
Ain’t no one to trip your feet |
I had a little donkey |
And he done got locked up |
Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
They stick him in the jail |
And he ain’t done nothing |
Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
Got him peeping through the bars |
Like a little monkey |
Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
The folks all say |
He been a real bad donkey |
Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
They say he’s acting |
Like there’s rum in his hay |
Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
He wasn’t drunk |
He just wanna play |
Pum pa lum (pum pa lum) |
